‘Modern Warfare 3’ continues ‘Call of Duty’ run of success beating pre-order records from other titles

‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’, released today, has overtaken ‘Call of Duty’ predecessors ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ and ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’ as the most pre-ordered videogame of all-time at Amazon.co.uk. ‘Modern Warfare 3’ received 32% more pre-orders than last year’s ‘Black Ops’.
